Western Illinois University Foundation
Our mission is to maximize private support for Western Illinois University to assist in advancing its core values of academic excellence, educational opportunity, personal growth, and social responsibility. Private support enables Western Illinois University to enhance educational opportunities for its students and advance its mission of instruction, research, and public service.Private assistance is sought and administered with the primary objective of serving purposes other than those for which the State of Illinois makes sufficient appropriations.These contributions, when added to State resources, add an extra dimension by supporting programs that might not otherwise be possible. Such generosity enables Western Illinois University to enhance educational opportunities for its students and advance its mission of instruction, research, and public service.
